The No. 8 Seton Hall Pirates this week in the First Round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The two teams are part of the Midwest region, playing in the same bracket as overall No. 1 seed Kansas.

Preview: Seton Hall finished with a 21-11 record this season, with a 10-8 mark in the Big East. The Pirates fell to Butler in the Big East Tournament this past week. NC State finished with a 21-11 record as well – with an 11-7 record in a crowded ACC. The Wolfpack was dispatched by Boston College in the ACC Tournament.

NC State has a balanced attack led by Allerik Freeman, Omer Yurtseven and Torin Dorn. Seton Hall will need Desi Rodriguez to be himself to have a shot.
